Hello, everyone!
My name is Anita Daher, a writer (and actor) in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I am a long time children’s book writer, mostly young adult and juvenile novels, and have written just two screenplays (thus far) both adaptations of books. The first screenplay had some interest from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). They had me adapt and pitch it as a series, but ultimately passed. Through this class I am hoping to sharpen and strengthen my second screenplay (adaptation of my 2020 young adult novel, You Don’t Have to Die in the End) before I begin shopping it to production companies. Something unique? Can’t think of a thing. Everything I’ve done has likely been done by someone else in this great wide world–though because I moved a lot from an early age I’ve had the opportunity to live in remote and gorgeous areas that not many have reason or opportunity to visit. So there’s that. I’m an early riser with a consistently overfull plate, many interests, and a mostly positive attitude.

My name is Christi Falk and I’m currently living in Edmonton, Alberta.
I’ve written 3 features, one TV spec and a handful of shorts.
I’m hoping to gain confidence in my current scripts as well as find tools to create new ones. My main focus is on selling now that the writers strike has ended. Since one of my three features quarter finaled in a Screencraft contest this year, I’m looking for a win next year.
Something strange about me is that I work a 9-5 job that has nothing to do with writing. It makes connecting with creative folks difficult as I’m typically the only one with regular hours.

Hey!
My name is Hung Duong but you can call me Henry. I live in the state now but I came from Vietnam.
I’ve written three features off and on for the last 20 years.
I hope to sharpen my skills so that I can win some contests.
My English is not so good but I want to be a successful screenwriter. LOL.
Bye for now.

1. Mike Jones but I tend to author my scripts as M. Morgan Jones.
2. Four drafts and a partial TV pilot for a limited adventure series. Began learning to write screenplays in 2017.
3. Putting these great new skills to use on developing a new t.v. series idea and applying them to my other one.
4. Unique? You bet. Special? No doubt. Strange? Depends who you ask. Unusual? Not really. Evidence? Hardly. Tá mé I mo chonaí i gCeanada. Vancouver Island, British Columbia, to be precise.
5. I was in ProSeries 76, and have taken a bunch of other courses here and elsewhere, and this is my first Binge Worthy TV class since I only thought about doing a series in the last year or so.

Hello screenwriters,
My name is Susan McClary
I’ve written 1.5 full length screenplays and a bunch of shorts. I’m working on the first novel of a three part series and several short stories and the .5 screenplay right now.
I fully expect to increase the quality of my writing by 100% or even more.
Something unique, special, strange or unusual about me…. I am an armchair physicist and have my own theory of everything.
